I am Thine!

I love the beautiful verse in I Chronicles 29:11:
     "Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty:  for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and Thou art exalted as head above all."  This beautiful verse has been called one of the great doxologies of Scripture, and it is a part of King David's thanksgiving and prayer when Solomon, his son, was being made king.  David and Solomon were the greatest kings of Israel, but David knew and rightly acknowledged that the Lord, Himself, was the true King -- not only of Israel, but of all heaven and earth!  How wonderful and comforting it is to know that God is the head---the supreme ruler over all.

This testimony of worship occurs throughout God's Holy Word, and in Revelation 4:11, we read:
     "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created."
                  The Psalmist said:  "Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion . . . Be wise now  therefore, O ye Kings:  be instructed, ye judges of the earth . . . Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him."

Someday, (perhaps much sooner than we think) every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess Him as King of kings and Lord of lords!   
     Let us keep running the race with patience, always looking unto Jesus--the author and finisher of our  faith!
